This apartment has beautiful skyline views of which floor to ceiling windows take full advantage. To add to the bright feel, designers selected furnishings in light neutral tones, using a mix of materials to layer in texture and depth.

A long rectangular mirror mimics the shape of this living room's clerestory windows and does the neat visual trick of making the room seem wider.

Black and white stripes energize the neutral palette of this stylish living room while staying within the serene color scheme. Over the sofa, a long strip of mirror helps widen the room visually.

Chic pillows make all the difference in styling up a sofa or an armchair. In this condo living room, black and white striped pillows give a little sass to a pair of white chairs.
